Father's Day

There's a fair chance I've shared this photo before; I don't have many of my dad and I, and this is one of my favourites. The life I have now is essentially my seven year-old-self's dream, and in this snap I'm not far off that age, scribbling in my auntie's garden in Somerset. We lost dad four years ago this summer but I'm so glad he got to see some of the things his love of art sparked for me; in his own life he never had the chance to pursue his creativity seriously.
Though my own father is no longer here, I'm lucky to have not one but two father's-in-law, not to mention my husband (and right hand man at Scribble & Daub) Tim, all of whom will be feted this coming Sunday.
Dad, Daddy, Papa, Pops, Pa, Father, Da, Dada... whatever you call him, if you are fortunate enough to have one, give them a stylish card and a treat this Sunday that let's them know how much you appreciate all they do. Here are a few ideas...

Velva Sheen Japanese Sweatshirt, £105 at End Clothing (thanks to the ever reliable sartorialist Eleanor Cording Booth for this tip in her recent substack)
Mercedes 350SL Convertble, £12.95 Thorsten van Elten (obviously the real thing would be optimal..!)
Ship Ahoy!
We'll be shipping out Father's Day orders by next day courier and we'd recommend ordering by Wednesday 12th June to be on the safe side though later may likely still very likely make it...
Don't forget that if you add any 6 cards to your basket, one will automatically be free at checkout (shipping is also free in the UK over £25)
This weekend I'll be celebrating with my lot (below, a few years ago in a vanishingly rare photo of all 5 of us) in an old lighthouse keeper's cottage at bleakly beautiful Dungeness. Planning to take a few of our new Ahoy! cards to pen from a sunny spot on the shingle...
